What people are saying about  Penn Hills Charter School of Entrepreneurship

★★★★★

LaTesha Richard

I have had nothing but great experiences when it comes to PHCSE. Everyone I’ve come in contact with has helped when needed and informed me of the necessary things regarding my children. I would recommend this school to anyone who is looking for an alternative to traditional public school.

★★★★★

Parent

I absolutely love this school and my children are thriving here. There are so many life skills taught here that I wish were taught at all schools. The kids have to pay taxes “out of fake school currency”, apply and interview for jobs, put together business plans, and how to run their business.

★★★★★

Stacey AKines

Best school in Penn Hills and East area. Small teacher to student ratio. The focus is on education with high ethical and community standards. The staff encourages my student to resolve issues through kindness and compromise-No bullying tolerated!
